How to implement close the dropdown menu when clicking outside

In the above image, there are two element
outside element
inside element

Now to click the event of an outside element you have to close/toggle the class of the inside element if the clicked target is not = inside element

For React

<div class="outside" onclick={e=>e.currentTarget==e.target?e.currentTarget.firstchild.classList.remove('active')}>
   <div class="inside">
       <button onclick={e=>{e.currentTarget.parentElement.classList.toggle("active")}}>menu<button>
   </div>
</div>

For HTML

<div class="acc">
                        <span class="title"> title here <span class="acc-btn">v</span></span>
                        <span class="body">
                            lorem epsum sit ammet.
                        </span>                        
                    </div>

        const acc = document.querySelector('.acc')
            document.onclick = (e) => {
                if (!e.target.matches('.acc-btn') && !e.target.parentElement.matches('.acc')) acc.classList.remove('active')
            }
        
        document.querySelector(".acc-btn").onclick = (e) => {

            acc.classList.toggle("active");
        }
